Starting a new project today.  In the spirit of several podcasts I listen to, Go Bayside for one, I am going to start reviewing Calvin and Hobbes strip by strip.  One every weekday.

I have been thinking of starting this for a while and while thinking about the first strip I realize all I have to do is start typing.

#1 Nov 18 1985

First strip 4 panels.  We are introduced to Calvin, Hobbes and his dad.  It has been a few years since I have read many Calvin and Hobbes but I don't remember the tuna fish sandwich thing coming up again.  Calvin has his early squat looking head and Hobbes also has a weird head.  Dad looks mostly the same.  I do like Calvin's pith helmet, makes it seem like he is really out hunting tigers in the bush.

The joke is decent, pretty much Hobbes is aware of his weakness to tuna fish.  I know from reading about Bill Watterson that he feels he didnt need to introduce the relationship between Calvin and Hobbes at first.  It works for what it is and the start is understandable given how most comic strips have some kind of introduction.

I am looking forward to some more interesting strips coming up with more interaction with Calvin and Hobbes.
